Coach you're a trainer and have competed in bb. Bodybuilders are more of an athelete than professional race car drivers are; considering that race-car driving is a sport.
You should really take the time to meet Milos in person, and workout with him; to understand and learn his theories. You will both learn from each others discipline; instead of continuing the same discussion over and over. He trains professional and soon to be professional bodybuilders/fitness/physique competitors. Unlike yourself (as you mentioned on prior posts), you train more housewives with inches to lose here and there, than pro-bb's. We all know that the type of approach that these pro-bb's do, is (the standard) beyond losing pounds here and there. They are atheletes, don't you agree? They focus more on the physical easthetic conditioning, than running a field in a matter of secs. Housewives with inches to lose for the next wedding, family or high school reunion, do not expect to be olympic athelets to fit in a size 1 evening gown or bikini.
Maybe if you change your view on bodybuilders, then you'll have more pro-bodybuilders seeking your expetise to help them prep for their next or all their competition; and not just the yearly fitness bootcamp. What d' you say?
This is why I can speak the way I do.......the majority of my clientel are primarly athletes, and again as I have stated, High School, College including D1 schools and professional. I do train the general public as well but mostly athletes. I stopped training bodybuilders in the early 90's and went into Strength and Conditioning. In a recent post I have listed some of my current professional athletes as well as college and MMA.
I respectfully cannot agree that bodybuilders, at least pro and top National contenders are athletes. I have to relate an athlete as someone who can combine strength, conditioning, agility, balance and skills. Put all of those together and you have an athlete.
BTW, it was never my intention nor would I want to train professional bodybuilders. As far as a yearly fitness boot camp, my wife and other trainers do that during the week. I have actual strongman camps designed for athletes. It wouldn't be of any use to the general public........it would kill them.
